HOW ZEGERID OTC WORKS FOR YOUR FREQUENT HEARTBURN
Zegerid OTC works differently from other OTC heartburn products, such as antacids and other acid reducers. Zegerid OTC stops acid production at the source - the acid pump that produces stomach acid. Zegerid OTC is to be used once a day (every 24 hours), every day for 14 days.
TIPS FOR MANAGING HEARTBURN
- Do not lie flat or bend over soon after eating
- Do not eat late at night or just before bedtime
- Certain foods or drinks are more likely to cause heartburn, such as rich, spicy, fatty and fried foods, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol and even some fruits and vegetables
- Eat slowly and do not eat big meals
- If you are overweight, lose weight
- If you smoke, quit smoking
- Raise the head of your bed
- Wear loose-fitting clothing around your stomach
